Here's how his publisher describes the book: "These beautifully crafted stories gently guide readers into the
hallways of faith. Mr. Hallman’s unexpected journey toward faith began
with a routine assignment to write a feature piece for The Oregonian.

"He begrudgingly found himself in an African American church on a Sunday
morning – out of place, uncomfortable, and ready to leave. But he
accidentally found something he wasn’t looking for: faith and prayer in
action. Compelled by this experience, he began to seek out men and women
across the country who 'believed', and these people became the subjects
of the thirteen stories in the book. As these stories progress, two
narratives unfold: Hallman’s story and exploration of faith in his own
life, and the stories of the people he met."
